OMANBALA1:I have one reason for attacking the guy on first instance.....just that he took it up and I decided to insult him further. He claim he is from Afikpo...that is no problem but on the other he shouldn't have insulted abakiliki just to explain himself afterall they are all from same state. My answer to him what to draw his brain back if he can reason but I realise he is a worthless fool with no brain. |

UgwuAghachi:Who ran away from Bini kingdom? You are as ignorant as they come. I want to ignore you because because arguing with you will result to waste of time. However, Anambra has an impeccable and rich history that is sacrosanct. Take that to the bank. As for Aro, kidnappers who raid unsuspecting villagers to fetch slaves...Is that your achievement? Of what value is Arochukwu to Igbo today? How did Aro contribute to the political,economic and the big one CULTURAL structure of Igbo land. I know you are saying these things to fight back but you picked to wrong opponent. |

Juliusmalema:But its not like you are in bed with Abakaliki people, are you. Let them be, the people have suffered a lot of humiliation and their pride has been bruised. You don't kick a man that is already down. You dont have to keep saying these very hurtful things, it destroys people from inside, very very bad! |

OMANBALA1:Aro Confederacy controlled the whole of Igboland plus some Efik and Ibibio territories through the 18 - 19 century and you're asking me why I'm proud of being Aro - Igbo |

Juliusmalema:You have been insulting Abakaliki people since the beginning of this thread, and your posts on nairaland and you dare accuse me of what you are guilty of. The way Onitsha trace their lineage to Eze Chima and sons Benin Migration And Nnewi trace their lineage to Nri. And they are both in Anambra state That is how I want y'all to know the distinct history of Afikpo being part of Aro Confederacy and Abakaliki having a distinct history. Simple |

UgwuAghachi:Again, Aro confederacy did not control anything! Do you think this is a kindergarten or what? They were criminals who attacked innocent people, stole and sold them. Aro confederacy didn't hold any power....Show me where Aro defeated any town through war. You can be whatever you want to be but you can't invent history. |

OMANBALA1:aro Confederacy controlled much of the eastern region before the colonialists came. pls read it up. they weren't criminals. aros settled in many villages scattered across igboland. |

UgwuAghachi:you are very correct. ignore anybody who is too feeble to accept the truth. even slavery was part of world history. so aro being caught in the middle of it does not make aro history less great. |

OMANBALA1:PALM OIL and SLAVES were the major business items during those times. ancient rome, ancient greece, ancient egypt, england, usa, spain, portugal, saudi arabia, katanga, etc were all into the business, does it then take away their greatness? enough of your melodrama Aro Confederacy By the mid-18th century, there were mass migrations of several Aro business families into the Igbo hinterland and adjacent areas. This migration, influence of their god Ibini Ukpabi through priests, and their military power supported by alliances with several related neighboring Igbo and eastern Cross River militarized states (particularly Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo, Ekoi etc.) quickly established the Aro Confederacy as a regional economic power. Aro activities helped coastal Niger Deltacity-states become important centers for the export of palm oil and slaves. Such city-states included Opobo,Bonny, Brass, Calabar as well as other slave trading city-states controlled by the Ijaw, Efik and Igbo. The Aros formed a strong trading network, colonies, and incorporated hundreds of communities that formed into powerful kingdoms. The Ajalili, Arondizuogu, and Bende Kingdoms were the most powerful Aro states in the Confederacy after Arochukwu. Some were founded and named after Commanders and Chiefs like Izuogu Mgboko and Iheme whom led Aro forces to conquer Ikpa Ora and founded Arondizuogu. Later Aro commanders such as Okoro Idozuka also of Arondizuogu expanded the state's borders through warfare in the start of the 19th century. The Aro Confederacy's power, however, was mostly derived from its economic and religious position. With European colonists on their way at the end of the 19th century, things changed. |

superlightning:That's why I never claimed Nri controlled Igbo land. You insecurity and desperation to save your bruised ego led you to shoot yourself in the feet. |

have you heard of eze chima the anioma ancestor? he was an aro prince Eze Chima: An Ancient Aro Epic is a new, refreshing tale of the Arochukwu civilisation, written as a novel and published in 2016. Authored by Chike Nwaka, a writer, poet, artist and an Aro man who confesses to have drunk directly from the folkloric fountain of rich oral traditional tales from his father and grandfather, Eze Chima uses the heroism of one major character, Chima, to shed brighter light on the origins of Aro people, their world views and primordial connections to other ethnic peoples outside Igbo land. [b]The Aro people, domiciled in Arochukwu land in Southeast Nigeria and found everywhere, have been universally known for ages to be a distinct people among the Igbo. A lot of legendary tales and reputation precedes the Aro race, telling of their uncommon adventurous spirit, enterprise, hard work, integrity, boldness, honour, respect, humility, wisdom and leadership qualities. All these acclaimed sterling Aro attributes are what the central character of Eze Chima personifies in his heroic journey through the riveting story.[/b] [b]In fact, the story of Chima as the protagonist of Eze Chima novel is the story of an unusually epic era in ancient Arochukwu civilisation. According the story, which any enthusiastic reader will find quite absorbing till the last page, Chima was born a prodigy, an adult in a baby’s body as he was a reincarnated being who had lived several lives before his present coming. So strange and unique was his birth that he could already, as an infant, engage a sage, Mazi Uchenivu, in esoteric conversation. The king, Eze Aro of the time, was also amazed by the extraordinary traits and actions of Chima as he grew up. The whole Arochukwu Kingdom was in awe of Chima, as incredible tales of his legendary exploits spread like wildfire. He once, like a David against Goliath, fought Okon, an intimidating bully, who led his criminal gang to rob and rape in Arochukwu, bringing his reign of terror to an end, much to the relief and cheers of the people. So, it became so obvious to all and sundry that Chima was born with god-like powers. But he did not use his powers for evil, but to protect the weak, help the community and curtail oppression and wickedness. So, when King Orhamenye came all the way from Ebeinu (Benin Kingdom in Edo) to Arochukwu to consult the Eze Aro for help in solving intractable problems in his kingdom, it was Chima who was chosen to be the Messiah.[/b] When Chima got to Ebeinu, he became King Orhamenye’s most trusted confidant and adviser, with his uncommon words of wisdom and nobility. Before long, even the people of Ebeinu became fond of Chima as he taught the young people diverse skills, helped people in distress, taught them deep truths about life and helped ensure justice in the kingdom. Of course, the oppressive aristocrats of Ebeinu kingdom were not happy with Chima’s exploits, closeness to Oba Orhamenye and popularity with the commoners. So, such characters like Azegbedin, a ruthless head wizard, and Ogeame, a power-hungry prince of the former King Ogiso, tried to eliminate Chima but they could not. Meanwhile, Chima married Oba Orhamenye’s daughter, Princess Ivie (later called Adaeze), while he had to valiantly resist temptations from other adoring Ebeinu women like Idia who wanted to marry him. Eventually, Oba Orhamenye, who never liked the boorish cultures of Ebeinu, left for Ife, his father Odudunwa’s kingdom where he once lived before being sent to be king at Ebeinu. Chima too finally left Ebeinu, to go back to Arochukwu after accomplishing his mission. A lot of Ebeinu people left with him and as he journeyed homewards towards Arochukwu, he encountered complex challenges that taxed his leadership skills to the limits. He never made it to Arochukwu when he died, but he became a hero everywhere he stopped and settled down to set up new kingdoms. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/03/04/eze-chima-a-new-tale-of-aro-heroism/amp/ |

OMANBALA1:I don't think they controlled Igbo land, Confederates don't usually have one law making bodies! But they were regional powers, mostly because of Agbara Ukpabi. Most villages then didn't like going to war with the because they exhibited barbaric tendencies like the early Germans, they would likely plunder and pillage their way through towns and villages! |

In fact, let me help you out a little...Do you know many people from the hinterland moved to Aro during the trading era and returned afterwards? Do you also alot of Aro became gypsies and destitutes after the fall of the Aro....lol. I dont want to hurt your feelings. |
